material moisture in liquid, porous and solid materials by applying the method of
thermogravimetrics.

4.2 Improper Use

Impacts and overloading exceeding the stated maximum load (max) of the device,
minus a possibly existing tare load, must be strictly avoided.
This could cause damage to the integrated balance.
Never operate device in explosive environment. The serial version is not explosion

Changes to the unit's design are not permitted. This may lead to incorrect weighing
results, safety-related faults and destruction of the appliance.
The unit may only be operated in accordance with the described default settings.
Other areas of use must be released by KERN in writing.

4.4 Monitoring of Test Resources

In the framework of quality assurance the measuring-related properties of the
integrated balance and, if applicable, the testing weight, must be checked regularly.
The responsible user must define a suitable interval as well as type and scope of this
test. Information is available on KERN's home page (www.kern-sohn.com) with
regard to the monitoring of balance test substances and the test weights required for
this. In KERN's accredited DKD calibration laboratory test weights and balances may
be calibrated (return to the national standard) fast and at moderate cost.
